Jim has been my neighbor and friend since 1994, the year I moved into my lower level condo. He lived above me and I got very used to the comfort of hearing him  shuffle across the floor. This is a small community and knowing you have close neighbors makes it feel like you're family. That's how it was with Jim. We saw many holidays, birthdays, and special occasions come and go.

He enjoyed when I would decorate the bushes and trees with lights during the Christmas season and came to several of our small New Year's Eve parties.  He liked my home-cooked meals, cookies, and treats my sister and her husband shared too.  He was thoughtful  in word and deed, a man of integrity. He asked how my mom and family were doing, and gave cards and candy to my son and I. We had so many wonderful conversations about life...the good, as well as, the difficult... and everything in between, including cars! We were able to share the loss of our loved ones, personal challenges, accomplishments, and "good news". He strolled down memory lane often and it brought a beautiful smile to his face and a sense of pride. He lost both of his wives long before their time and I prayed for companionship for him.

Twenty six years older than me, he had a bit of a protective and wise "old school" father figure attitude; I respected  and looked up to him. He spoke with me about raising my son, and said he hoped I would find a kind and caring man because I deserved one and I would be a good wife! My son thought of him as a grandfather mentor. God blessed us both placing him in our lives and Jim knew with certainty how much we  loved him. We are so grateful for having known him all these years. His presence will be deeply missed and he will forever hold a place in our hearts...gone but never forgotten. May this wonderful man rest in peace. Our sympathy and thoughts are with his family at this sad time. Love, Donna and Justin
